New Masters Academy – Composition for Visual Artists | Week 10: Color

We are pleased to share with you a 10-week long class brought to you by Art Mentors. In this class, renowned Disney Art Director and Instructor Bill Perkins will teach composition for artists. In the 10th and final lesson, Bill tackles the mammoth topic of color. He identifies common hurdles to understanding of the color wheel, hue, saturation, and value. He demonstrates a great lesson about outdoor color temperature using a diagram featuring a “sky dome” and the position of the sun. Bill talks about our perception of color temperature, local and light colors, and analyzes various works to identify such characteristics. He finishes the course with an excellent lecture about composition, where he “puts it all together.”
